It's not just HP; Lenovo also removed the RJ45 port from its flagship P16 workstation, only to reintroduce it in the new G3 model released this year. I think people sometimes forget why such port existed in the first place.
Wired internet may seem like an anachronism to many younger users in the year 2025, but it still remains the most reliable way to connect to the World Wide Web - or internal company networks. HP had removed the RJ45-Ethernet port on many of its business laptops, but with the 2025 model, it makes a return on some of them.
